Concealed under an apparent smokescreen is an interesting story for Fudzilla about the intelligence services saying Chinese smartphone company ZTE is a sleeper for intelligence investigations.

The BBC reported today that ZTE is a risk to UK security.

A government body has told all UK telecoms providers that the Shenzhen based firm is – possibly a bit like Huawei – infiltrating everyone's PCs and smartphones.

The UK government said under no circumstances should people use ZTE's kit
.
Which must be a bit of a blow for some carriers here – like British Telecom – formerly a part of the UK government, that sold ZTE kit through its shops.
